The Brick Presbyterian Church at Park Avenue and Ninety-First Street has been in continuous operation since 1767. The present building was built in 1940.

Aurora's scope of work included the restoration of 

400 pound bronze chandeliers as well as 13 smaller chandeliers. These fixtures had a polychrome finish which we removed, polished the metal surfaces, applied an 'antiquing' solution, and then sealed the metal with 2 coats of a tinted lacquer.

Additionally, a number of exterior fixtures including 2 large sconces, 1 smaller hanging lantern, and 2 signage lights were restored. We used the hanging lantern as a model to create 2 additional sconces to flank the secondary entrance.

Based on an old black and white photograph, we were able to closely match the original Chancel fixture fairly closely by mixing and matching parts.
